by Cooper Fleishman, mic.comWant to play a fun game on the Internet that also sends Microsoft your face? You’re in luck: Enter how-old.net, a nifty piece of facial-recognition software that tries to guess your age. How-Old exploded in popularity on Twitter on Thursday, forcing hundreds of 25-year-olds to confront their worst fear — that they look 40. Or worse, 15.

That’s me on the left; I’m actually 27. Gabe and Miles are, I’ll just say, much younger than the age Microsoft assigned them.
But it’s not the accuracy of How-Old that’s appealing. The most sharable results are, of course, wildly off.
